Your music machine

You can connect your iPod or iPhone to the receiver's rear USB input and use the receiver's controls to access your playlists, with tools like Alphabet Search and Link Search to help you zero in on the song you want. Android users aren't left out in the cold. If your Android phone supports the media transfer protocol (MTP), you'll be able to browse and play back the music that's stored on your phone, no extra app required.

If you're a fan of streaming Internet radio, connect your iPhone to the receiver with an optional cable and take charge of your Pandora® account from the touchscreen, complete with thumbs-up and thumbs-down controls. And don't forget, you can also enjoy all your CDs, DVDs, discs full of MP3 or WMA music, or USB storage devices loaded with files.

Product Research

Touchscreen Display

Motorized 6.95" LCD Touchscreen: The Pioneer AVH-X5600BHS
features a 6.95" TFT Active Matrix, 16:9 widescreen touchscreen display. The
resolution of the display is 800 x 480 (RGB), for a total of 1,152,000 pixels.
The touchscreen display allows you to control this unit and a paired Bluetooth
device, or a connected component such as your iPod/iPhone or USB mass storage
class device. Menus appear on screen for making function choices, audio
adjustments, and setting up the system. The unit's touchscreen display is
motorized. The 6.95" touchscreen display electronically slides down to load and
eject your DVD/CD discs. The angle of the motorized touchscreen display can also
be adjusted to five different positions to meet your viewing needs in the car.

Widescreen Modes: You can choose from the following
widescreen modes when playing back video - Full (4:3 picture is enlarged in
the horizontal direction only; enabling you to enjoy a 4:3 picture without
any omissions), Zoom (4:3 picture is enlarged in the same proportion both
vertically and horizontally; ideal for a 16:9 screen), Normal (4:3 picture
is displayed as it is).

OSD + Backgrounds: The color of the on-screen display
can be set to red, amber, green, blue or white. The background can be set to
one of four preset still images, two moving images, a stored JPEG image,
spectrum analyzer, or
turned Off.

Favorites: You can register the desired menu items on the
AVH-X5600BHS's "Favorites" menu screen. Registering your favorite menu items
allows you to quickly jump to the registered menu item by a simple touch on the
favorites menu. Up to 12 menu items can be registered as a "Favorite".

Front-Panel Control w/ Custom Illumination: In addition to
the touchscreen controls, the unit includes frequently used buttons along the
bottom edge of the screen. The color of the button illumination can be set to
red, amber, green, blue, white, or scan (constantly cycling through the color
spectrum). You can also create a custom color to match your vehicle's interior
lighting (112 colors to choose from).

MIXTRAX Illumination: MIXTRAX features a club-style
illumination that enhances the mood with a dynamic dance club-like lighting
effect. As MIXTRAX begins, lights start pulsing to the beat of the music, adding
an extra level of entertainment. You can choose among twelve patterns of
lighting variations from sound pressure level or low-pass synchronization modes.
The lighting effects work like a spectrum analyzer, reaching peak colors based
on the intensity of the music.

Dimmer: To prevent the display from being too bright at
night, the display is automatically dimmed when the car's headlights are turned
on. The automatic dimmer function only works when the orange/white illumination
wire in the wiring harness is connected to the vehicle's headlight circuit.

Parking Brake Interlock: This unit has a parking brake
interlock system that prohibits viewing of video programming and operating
certain controls when the vehicle is in motion. In order to watch video on the
in-dash monitor, the vehicle must be stopped with the parking brake engaged. The
head unit's light green wire must be connected to your vehicle's parking brake
detection circuit. The head unit's touchscreen will display "Attention! Viewing
of front seat video source while driving is strictly prohibited", if you try to
watch a video when your vehicle is in motion.

Audio Section

24-Bit/96kHz DAC: For superb quality audio playback from
DVDs, CDs, and flash media, the Pioneer AVH-X5600BHS is equipped with a
24-bit/96kHz digital-to-analog converter.

MOSFET50 Internal Amplifier: This receiver is equipped with
a 50 watts x 4 (peak) MOSFET amplifier for low distortion, high power output.
The amplifier is strong enough to power small subwoofers to moderate volume
levels in compact cars and pickups. For higher volume levels from subwoofers, an
optional amplifier may be connected to the preamp outputs.

Note: The power specifications for the AVH-X5600BHS are compliant
with the CEA2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and Measurement standards

AVH-X5600BHS features three pair of 4.0-volt preamp outputs
(Front/Rear/Subwoofer). The unit's front and rear preamp output can be faded
(front/rear), while the subwoofer preamp output is non-fading. The Pioneer
AVH-X5600BHS lets you adjust the subwoofer preamp output's phase
(normal/reverse) and volume (+6 to -24).

Crossovers: The AVH-X5600BHS employs high pass and low pass
crossovers to tailor the head unit to your connected speakers.

HPF: The head unit's 12dB/octave high pass filter only

equalizer curves which you can easily recall at any time. You can choose from -
Powerful, Natural, Vocal, Super Bass, Flat, Custom 1, or Custom 2. The Custom 1
and Custom 2 EQ modes allow you to manually adjust the level (+/- 12dB) of each
band of the head unit's 8-band graphic equalizer (40Hz, 80Hz, 200Hz, 400Hz,
1kHz, 2.5kHz, 8kHz, and10kHz).

Sonic Center Control: Sound that is suited for the
listening position can easily be created with this function. You can adjust
sound more toward the listening position left (7) to right (7).

Advanced Sound Retriever: The Advanced Sound Retriever
automatically enhances compressed audio and restores the original richness
of the recording. When the Advanced Sound Retriever is on, the high

for music, MIXTRAX delivers a unique DJ infused listening experience to
listeners in the car. MIXTRAX is an innovative Pioneer technology that creates a
non-stop mix of your music library complete with a range of DJ-inspired effects.
MIXTRAX takes your typical music listening experience and creates a non-stop mix
of your music with 9 random DJ effects and transitions, by removing the breaks
and pauses normally introduced between tracks and replacing them with various
beats. MIXTRAX is compatible with USB-connected iPhone, iPod, USB MSC device,
and select Android devices. There is also a Short Playback option which limits
the amount of time each track plays; select from 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, or 3 minutes.

Not that happy wih it

Sound is great but interface is hard to use. I bought $100's worth of cords to connect my iphone5 and it doesn't work half the time says "accessory not compatible" what ? didn't I just spent extra $100 bucks to make it compatible. So yeah, it say on the screen most of the time "accessory not compatible" black screen .. totally suck,, at least it sounds good ,, not happy , spent 225 to have it put it and cords ran clean, just to have it not work write,, please tell me a stereo that does work right and I'll buy it , who cares how much , I just need something that works right ,, not happy customer

Pros:sounds good

Cons:app radio doesnt work half the time
getting a '' Accessory not compatible " when it is compatible
hard to use

Crutchfield response on Tuesday, February 10, 2015We're sorry to hear that the iPhone connection isn't working quite right. Getting smartphones to work properly with new stereos can sometimes be tricky. Since you purchased your stereo from Crutchfield, you get free access to our Tech Support team. Give us a call they'll help you troubleshoot the situation.

Great Radio System

I originally purchased a radio with analog style display. It was hard to read in bright light and not easy to use. Thanks to Crutchfield's generous return policy I switched to this unit. The touch screen operation is great and provides information on the station presets and is easy to select between the audio sources. The home screen shows the selections such as disk, FM/HD, SiriusXM, & Bluetooth. Also phone connection info and access to the equalizer is right there. No guessing. The big screen is super for someone with big fingers. I have not tried the video and probably never will. The touch screen operation was what I wanted. If there was any disappointment it was that it would not automatically switch between my phone and my wife's phone. It will automatically connect to the last phone used, if we need to switch phones we need to connect manually. Not a big deal but I thought it would switch automatically. I used the CRUX adapter kit so all of the steering wheel hand controls work. I am quite handy but had a few questions during installation and operation. The Crutchfield techs are great and seem to have the answers. Also I emailed the manufacturer on an operation issue and got a prompt answer.

Pros:Big screen with easy selections and good information. The touch system works great. Very intuitive spent almost no time reading the manual.

AVH-X5600BHS- Had a hard time with it

So I get the first unit and playing a CD or iPod the track skips. It gets half way through, then it goes back to the start or goes to the next song. The remote doesn't work. Called tech support and while very helpful, we couldn't find a solution to the problem. Crutchfield sent a replacement. After installation, the same problems were present but worse. Once the receiver played a song, it stuck. No previous or forward worked. Called tech support again. We couldn't find a solution. On their suggestion. I ordered a different product,.Pioneer AVH-X3700BHS. After problems with this unit (and getting frustrated with myself) I had one wire connection wrong. After correcting, the Ipod stuck one one song and would not move. Bottom line, this unit doesn't support the iPod classic (160GB) even though they claim they do. No problem with the 10GB Touch or the 80GB Classic.

Works great

Works and sounds great. Installation did take me a while but not because of the head unit itself. It was pretty easy to install.

Pros:Lots of features.

Cons:Only problem I have had is that I think I may have put the XM unit too close to the radio antenna connection. I am getting bit of static on 1 channel. 92.1 FM.
One other thought it might have been nice if there was an easy way to connect USB devices to the front of the unit.

Fantastic Unit

Bought a truck that already came with a DVD/Nav Head Unit, but it was a Kenwood. The interface was very confusing and difficult to make simple selections or changes. After already owning 2 head units by Pioneer, I keep running back to them for their ease of use and adjustability. My first DVD player from them was a AVIC D3, which at the time was one of the higher end models. To this day, it is still rocking! But, with the advances in technology, their head units have become even more user friendly with expansive options. I'm definitely happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a DVD Player at this price point. Since I use my phone for navigation purposes, there wasn't a need for the DVD/Nav Head Unit. Save a little money going this route.

Pros:Ease of use/User Interface, Styling, Quality, Multiple Connections in the Rear for Expandability

Cons:Face plate/screen does NOT detach as in other models. But, that's not too big of a deal for me. But, it might be for someone else.
